Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Great Leaders.
“The ability to motivate people is not, in itself, difficult. It is usually tied to some external factor. Tempting incentives or the threat of punishment will often elicit the behaviour we desire.
…Great leaders, in contrast, are able to inspire people to act. Those who are able to inspire give people a sense of purpose or belonging that has little to do with any external incentive or benefit to be gained.” Simon Sinek
Find your niche.
“Blandness wins no one.
Too many people want to be something to everyone and end up being nothing to anyone.
Universal appeal means universal indifference.” - Shane Parrish
Partner up.
“...we never act as individuals without interacting with myriad others—by reading their words, remembering their lessons, and using tools they made, at the very least. A partnership puts this interaction into the same room.” - Kevin Ashton
1 from me
Find the Right People.
“Feeling introverted isn’t always about lacking energy - it’s often about where that energy goes.
With the wrong crowd, conversation feels like work. With the right people, it flows without effort.
Creativity thrives in connection. Find the ones who get you, and you’ll find your voice too.”
Until next week
